Matthew is True Pantone 285C Dinoco Blue McCrew for all you design geeks … his friends back in the hood just call him MC Squared … and of course, his class mates called him Zat-tat-tooey Bo-Fatty Hatty GregoCatty Biggie Biggs (his classmates were not smart) … He used to go by Matty but a lot of people would drive up to him and punch him in the face.

It is any wonder I was fired from the back of the card name description blurb gig?

And Minteresting … another M CAR …

It’s Matti – it’s the other one!

There is a rumor that these are now packed 12 to a case so three of each? And maybe the “re-releases” are also 12 to a case but in their own case? Checklist here.

May you live in the most interesting of times and find these minty mint targeted Target stores.

I’m just surprised they put 3 small and similar looking ones in the same case. I think it would have better to separate them into different cases with some variety.
I have a feeling the next case might be real good though. There are some final laps to be released like Duff Wrecks and Johnathan Wrenchworts that we are really looking forward to.
Any fixed eyes final laps cars are good for is though. I like the final lap line.

I picked up two sets of these four at the Target located at the South Hill Mall, Puyallup, WA. It was after 2 PM. Go figure! TRU at South Hill had the “cube” but it was stocked with lenti’s from the Fallen Bumper Fred case. I’ve noticed an abundance of Fallen Bumper Fred’s around town-nobody wants him- $3.50-$3.99 for an underachiever? Nah!

More Nick Stickers repaints. I looked for these and I’m in California today but no luck. Plenty of remnants from Cases D & E, and a full set of Case F on the pegs at one Target today. Either people are afraid to enter Target during their makeovers or are just burnt out on these…OR…Target actually put more of these on the shelfs then previous cases. Interestingly enough…when I scanned to see if they had more in inventory it said YES. More of what case though I don’t know and I figured it would be too much effort to hide 3 cases worth to get them to pull more out. I’ll just check back in a month.

Bummer that there are no interesting Cars left to relase, eh? I think we will be getting these just because we feel compelled to complete the line. Nothing stands out as a MUST PLAY WITH for my 4 year old (since he has Marlon already).

I agree with you on the interesting cars. In fact, I heard that Case J will have a character called “Car Who Sat in Section 307, Row 22, Seat 5 And Appeared In The Film For One Tenth Of A Second As Seen From The Blimp During The Flyover Of Marco, et. al., Before The Final Race At The California Speedway”.

Snopes just confirmed your thoughts for Case J, John. However … it gets worse or better depending on your outlook. Case K is scheduled to include 2 Cars that were cut from the original movie and have never made an appearance in any forum. Scheduled for release are Master Cylinder, the notorious rapper that got into legal trouble days after “shooting” began on the movie (ironic?) and his sidekick Lil Moped. I thought I heard that the other two Cars slated for the case are Primer Ramone and Fillmore with Water Pipe. (I would actually happily hunt all 4 of those!)

Check out the upcoming lenticular Chase car lineup: Stanley with Bird Poop, Stanley with Rust Spots, Sally without Make-up, Flo with Scratch, Sleeping McQueen, Doc with 3 Piston Cups, and a special edition known only as “Jaded Collector”. The last one is slated to be a McQueen with Mirror Finish that you angrily glare into.

Between the boring Final Lap releases of late and the “Chase” accessories that happen to come with an overly abundant Car – is it any wonder I am so excited about the Cars Toons stuff?

Actually, I think I saw Mike Wazowski and Sulley taking the pics from somewhere… Marlon didn’t seemed fazed (or scared) by their appearances. He arrested them for “loitering” or something stupid like that. And then Matti came up wanting to know the whole story.

Just wondering, what Cars lines do you collect, and what don’t you collect? Ex. I collect haulers, megasize, Piston Cup Nights, and, of course, Final Lap. But, I don’t collect Cars Toon, Mini Adventures, Color Changers, and lenticulars. I hope they can release a cool set of all the chase cars released as lenticular only, as non lenticulars. Please pass that idea on to Mattel.

While I’m glad to see these, I’m having a hard time getting enthused about them… I have seen 1 Final Lap G case Car in a store in Louisville (KY) … 1 McQueen with Shovel… None at 30 other stores in Indiana, western Ohio, or Louisville… Mattel and Target distribution leaves a lot to be desired…

Great find… I hope one of my friends can help me out again… here’s hoping they show up in the UK at Disney Stores soon.
